Jewel of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Port Fairy’s whitewashed historic buildings are the inspiration for this Mezzie and Frank favourite. At the dark end of the whites palette, reflecting mushroom pink hues – a wonderful way to introduce a warmth to your neutral tones.
Mezzie + Frank Chalk Effects Furniture Paint can be used on a variety of surfaces with exceptional adhesion. Preparation is minimal as the paint is self-priming. Use on timber, concrete, brick, stone, gyprock, metal, ceramic, canvas, veneer & more. Fantastic for upcycling and use on furniture. Provides a plush, finely textured, extra matte finish.
Apply Gilly's Carnauba Polish over the top for extra protection and a silky wax feel. Alternatively, you can use our Hardy Clear Coat.
Please note, actual paint colour may vary slightly from the image. Due to a number of technical reasons, computer images will rarely represent the colour as experienced in person.

Surface Preparation
One of the advantages of Mezzie + Frank Chalk Effects Paint is its self-priming nature, which minimises the need for extensive preparation. However, for optimal adhesion and finish, consider the following steps:
- Clean the Surface: Remove dust, grease, and grime using a mild detergent and water. Ensure the surface is dry before painting.
- Sand if Necessary: While sanding is often unnecessary, lightly sanding glossy or uneven surfaces can enhance paint adhesion.
- Repair Imperfections: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
Painting Steps
- Mix Paint: Ensure the paint is well-mixed before application.
- First Coat: Apply the first coat evenly, following the grain of the wood or the direction of the surface. Allow it to dry completely, typically within 1-2 hours.
- Second Coat: Apply a second coat if necessary for full coverage. This coat will also dry within 1-2 hours.
M + F Chalk Effects can be applied with a paintbrush, paint roller or paint sprayer.
Sealing
Hardy Clear Coat: A pure acrylic sealer that intensifies the base colour and provides a low-sheen, matte finish. It's ideal for high-traffic areas like tabletops and floors. Apply one or two coats with a brush, roller or sprayer, allowing at least two hours between coats. For darker colours, thin the first coat with 25% water to prevent milkiness.
Gilly's Carnauba Polish: A fast-drying wax finish rich in carnauba and beeswax, offering a high sheen when buffed. It's suitable for decorative pieces and can be applied with a cloth in a circular motion, then buffed after 20–30 minutes. Up to three coats can be applied for increased protection and shine.
